Race Porsche in Forza to Unlock Real Life Bonus Level

Porsche is issuing a challenge to all Forza 7 players, offering one gamer the chance to take the step into reality at Porsche’s Master Cup Training in Barcelona.

To enter you just have to enter a lap time from your home, to Forza’s “Rival” mode. Enter your time in a 911 GT3 RS at this website before August 7 and be one of the 48 fastest people on earth to enter stage two of the competition.

Stage two will divide the best 48 into four groups of 12, who will play off in a best of two free-for-all on August 11. The best six players from each group will then play off on August 12.

The players, again, will be divided into groups of 12, with best four from each group (in a best of three free-for-all) heading to Gamescon.

On August 22, the 8 will face off at Gamescom in Cologne. After another round of competition, the top four will be given driver training, in Liepzig, Germany on August 27.

They will then be invited to the Hungaroring Grand Prix track in Hungary for the final round of competition. The four players will face off on a Porsche simulator and the one with the fastest lap time will win entry to the Porsche Master Cup Training in Spain.

A 17,000 euro value ($20,000-ish), the Porsche Master Cup Training course takes place over two days, in which time drivers are lent a 911 GT3 RS or Cup car and taught to drive on slicks.

Normally, the course is only open to people with a Master Licence and limited to 16 people per session, since each driver is also given an engineer and teacher to drive with.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
